‘Raiders of the Lost Ark’ to Be Re-Released Theatrically on Imax

Steven Spielberg, in an interview with Dave Itzkoff:

But there’s not a lot of movies I want to go back into my archives and do this for. Raiders is a movie of my own, that I can actually stand to watch from beginning to end. In that sense, it has a special place in my heart. I don’t rewrite it in my mind, I’m not kicking myself for what I didn’t do. I’m just going along for the ride like everybody else. It’s one of the few films that I’ve directed that I can sit back objectively and observe and enjoy with my family or whoever I’m with, or even alone. Most of my other films, I’m hypercritical of them. I don’t have any plans to re-release Close Encounters or Jaws.

One of my top five films. Very excited to see it on a huge screen.
